The New Industrial City Of the South-Its
Rapid Progress and Brilliant Prospects.

DECATUR, Ala, Sept 81, 1887.
The growth of this city in the last few months
is q marvel even in this age of astonishing
progress. Here has been accomplished, in six
eight months, more in the way of solid and ma
terial prosperity than in many others of the
growing cities in many years The site of
the city has had much to do with its grow tn.
Situated most eligibly on the south bank of the
Tennessee river, at the crossing of two impor-
taut systems of railroads, its location is unsur-
passed. It's railroads aud the river give it IN
equaled facilities for transportation, and make
it accessible for travellers from all directions
In the neigh borhood of the-city are immense
and valuable deposits of iron and coal, while all
kinds of timber are abundant and cheap.

genial climate remarkable for its healthfuiness,
and find here com animation of advantages
which few other places can offer.

ciated is shown by the fact that over thirty
manufactures have been located here since the
first of March Several of these large and
important establishments. working from 100 to
200 men. Most of these in operation and
doing business that Is highly satisfactory to
their owners There excellent opportunities
here for many other manufactures such car
riage and wagon factories. furniture, chair. bent
wood, rolling mills cotton mills Touring mills,
and many minor industries. Parties desiring
locations for any of these should carefully in
vestigate the inducements held out here, where
raw material is cheap. and market for the
manufactured product available
While Decatur offers many attractions to
the manuf acturer, it has many of the convent
euces of older cities Among these electric
lights. telephone service, street cars, and good
schools and plenty of churches.
The city has been laid out with view of
making it healthful and delightful place of
residence
There has been but little sickness here the
past season, and the death rate for the year is
lower than in any other city of the same popula-
ton in the South.
AS one item showing what has been done
here, it may be stated truth that the Land
Company owned here originally $500 acres of
town lots and lands They have scotland donated
about $50 Of this for $3.50, 900. sum equal
to what was paid for the whole. The stock of

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.-There are two men
holding prominent official positions who are

are Interstate Com missioner Morrison and

secure the higher honor Of election TO the United
States Senate. Mr.. Morrison's friends here
assert positively that it is the purpose of that
for Congress next year.
Upon Mr.. Morrisons retirement Mr.. Obery
will attempt to bring influences to bear upon
the President to give him the place. Mr.. Oberly
is dissatisfied with his position on the Civil
service Commission. principally because he finds
great difficulty in getting along with his col
league, Mr.. Edgerton. The Indiana member of
the board is antagonistic to the gentleman from
Massachusetts, almost every time the commits
sion is called upon to settle knotty questions.
Mr.. Lyman and Mr.. Obery manage to pull in
doub lie harness together very comfortably but
Mr. Oberly makes secret of his inability to
find points upon which he agree with Mr..
Edgerton. This is one of the reasons why he
desires promotion to the position occupied by
Mr.. Morrison; but the principal reason is the
fact that, while his present salary Is only thirty
five hundred year, the salary OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission is seventy-five hundred.
Mr.. Obery has very large family. and is
obliged to live among expensive surroundings,
and for these reasons finds difficulty in bringing
up his children upon thb income which he
receives from the government. It is said that
his letter to the Illinois Democratic Club last
evening was brought about through his desire
to stand we'll with the civl-service reformers.
and in the hope of gaining more favor with the

Is certain that he will do all in his power to
